It has been rumored that Hakeen Olajuwon charges somewhere in the neighborhood of $50,000 per session to work with NBAers to help hone their post-skills. He has been working with Amar’e Stoudemire (who can afford that) for a while this summer and “the Dream” likes what he sees so far.
‘You won’t believe it,’ Olajuwon said in a telephone interview from his ranch outside Houston. The apprenticeship began on Aug. 6, with daily three-hour sessions on Olajuwon’s private court. Stoudemire has proved a quick study, assimilating moves and countermoves as fast as Olajuwon can demonstrate them. ‘It’s night and day,’ Olajuwon said. ‘What’s so nice is he wants it; he likes the post. He’s always wanted to play there, but he doesn’t have the moves that would give him that option.’
